We always need to be ready for the opportunities God puts before us. Joseph has been in prison in a foreign land. Despite that, he doesn’t despair, instead, his relationship with God has grown. The cupbearer and the baker have had dreams that they don’t understand. Joseph interprets them and they come true. Read last …
Be Lost In The Wonder
The total eclipse that many of us were able to witness yesterday was quite a site to see! I appreciate those who were able to capture the vast reach of God, our Creator, on film. We are drawn to the unknown, but have we lost the awe and wonder of just how big our God …
Jesus Felt The Tears
I’ve heard sermons on Easter Sunday about the resurrection, from Mary’s perspective, from the view of the disciples, Doubting Thomas. Our pastor took a different slant this year, which always makes me take a deeper look at it. How is it that the things that we never want to see happen can bring the greatest …
God With Us
There are times during a sermon that I am overcome with emotion because I can relate to whatever it is the pastor is preaching about. I’m sure that most of us have similar experiences. Who couldn’t relate to going through the valleys and mountain tops of life. We continue with the message brought to Joseph …
Opening The Door To Sharing The Gospel
Listen to this podcast on our responsibilities of furthering the Gospel. So, how do we stay on our mission to further the Kingdom? That is the directive we’ve been given. Paul gives the instructions to the Colossians. 2Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a …
Life Is A Jigsaw Puzzle
You know how it is when you work a jigsaw puzzle. You spread all of the pieces out face up so you can spot just the piece you need. Our pastor says he can’t stop until it’s finished once he starts one. I’m not sure that I could stay with any one thing for that …
We’re All Going To Serve Someone
In his letter to the Philippians, Paul talks to them about Timothy who has been such a big help to Paul. 19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. 20 I have no one else like him, who …
Perseverence
This blog post is what I gleaned from the sermon on 2/26/23 by Tom Walters. 5But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.6For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my …
The Witness Heap
As I prepare to write the blog post about our sermon each Sunday, I look over my notes and references from the Bible text. I look to God for his guidance before I start to type and ask him to guide my words. This sermon series has been a tough one personally. When I look …
Callouses
This is my take on the sermon for 10/2/22. That may seem like a strange title for a blog post about Genesis 26, but that’s what caught my attention right away. Callouses can make things easier, but it takes time and hard work to build them. Our pastor talked about building callouses as a drummer …
